Goodness!! Life really has a way of getting away from you. I am sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, we have been really busy and things have just been crazy lately. Right now it is 12:38 AM and I just can't sleep. Adam has been on a business trip for the past week and I just finished watching a sappy movie and feel so pathetically lonely. Talking to the dog is only good for so long, and whats the point of making food if I'm the only on eating it. He gets back tomorrow, and technically he was home Thursday, but he left again on Friday. Oh well, enough with the pity party, lets go over some things that have happened lately.
First: VBS
The first week of August was our week for VBS, me and a bunch of the girls were in charge of the decorating. Our theme was Stories from God's Treasure Chest, and it turned out great. Last year theme was a Treasure Island theme so this year to change it up we decided to make it more of an Indiana Jones theme. The idea was the adventurer was to go through an opening in a water falls to get to the ruin city where the treasure was. We set up a camp, a water falls and a few items to make a ruin city. The Sarah, Kelsey and Jocelyn worked really hard painting, and making a huge map for the wall, and Adam helped staple all the craft paper onto the wall to make the rocks. It was a really cheap set up, and most of it was free. I saved the cardboard from wedding presents and amazon shipments, with which we (Kelsey and I) made the pillar and the well. The lady was made and used in previous VBS sessions, so we just reused her. The rocks are just craft paper which we rolled out and sprayed with watered down tempera paint, and then scrunched and bunched and stapled. Finally the water falls was just dollar store table cloths and some tulle left from the wedding.
PS. Sorry the pictures are just from my phone.
Second: Sunday School Picnic
Directly following VBS week we have the sunday school picnic. This project wasn't my idea, it was my good friend Colleens and I just thought they were so cute that I would blog about them. Colleen has the youngest class and wanted to make a race game that would be easy for them and fun. This turned out so cute! On evening during VBS week we went over to her house and Sarah and I helped her paint some boxes and hats to make..... the results are as follows.
The race was for the kids to get in the car, put on the adorable minon hats, run to the end, grab a banana, run back. Sadly, I missed the race so I don't have pictures, but the idea was made after these pins. Personally I think hers turned out way cuter.
Thirdly: We were running Xena to the vet.
Xena had her operation, and so we were driving her up to get her check-up, and had to wait for hours for her appointment. She is doing great and had a good nap on the way home.
Fourthly: We went to a wedding.

Lastly: Baby Benson pictures
I had a photo shoot for the first time with a newborn baby. I made a studio with my back ground stand, some vinyl flooring, and window light. I wanted to practice before the shoot so I used a monkey as my fake baby. It was sort of creepy but the actually baby pictures turned out great. The whole shoot turned out beautiful in the end and I really enjoyed it.
Well that's the update, and I'm really tired now so hopefully I can sleep.
Goodnight.
